Punta Brava Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse in Punta Carretas, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The cylindrical stone tower reaches 21 meters in height and features a lantern with red vertical stripes at its summit.
The lighthouse began its maritime operations in 1876, providing essential navigation guidance for vessels along the Uruguayan coast.
The National Postal Administration of Uruguay issued commemorative stamps in 2000 to honor this maritime structure.
The lighthouse emits alternating white and red flashes every ten seconds, visible from a distance of fifteen nautical miles.
The facility guides vessels toward three specific destinations: Banco Inglés, Buceo Port, and the Santa Lucia River entrance.
